Really good sub shop on small town Sparta! Visiting my sister from out of state left me stranded…read morewith no car when she had to go to work, so me and my kiddos crossed the street to get lunch here! Was pleasantly surprised by the amount of fresh offerings! I got the 6" BLTA and it was more than enough food and was so good. We also got the cheddar poblano soup which was the soup of the day and I'm absolutely obsessed with it! The young girl who rang us up was absolutely amazing and wonderful and the lady who made our sandwiches was a pleasure! My ONLY suggestion is maybe offer to toast subs? My daughter's meatball sub was definitely good, but maybe would have been even better with the bread toasted! Otherwise, can't wait to go back next time I visit my sister!

Anyhow I loved it then and I love it now - after all these years. The interior has been redone except for the old wooden bar at the very front. They used to have high back wooden booths along the south wall and east windows, with some additional small tables in the middle. The wooden booths are now gone and there's more of an open air setting with tables along the south wall with wooden bench style seats and high top tables in the center. They're still some pinball machines at the back that bring back fun memories. I found an old favorite on the menu, and ordered it - The Mcbide Special! It's a turkey, ham, and Swiss sandwich and comes with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, oregano, vinaigrette, a pickle, and chips ($11.95). It was just as good as I remembered it!. I sat at the bar where I was waited on by a friendly and polite employee. I enjoyed my visit, and reminded myself I shouldn't take so long to return. 5 stars for great service, sandwiches, and some fond nostalgia! Check them out!

There is plenty of seating in the dining area. Walk up and order at the counter. Everything was fresh and delicious. Made to order and you can modify any menu item to your liking. We ordered the combo so we could try a small sandwich and a small salad. The only issue is, there is nothing small about them! Both were delicious, but a meal within itself. I couldn't finish mine and ended up bringing half of each home! We tried the Triple Berry Salad, Greek salad, and the Chicken Bacon Ranch on ciabatta bread sandwiches. If you like fresh ingredients and healthier options, this is the place for you! We will definitely be back...

The hot…read morecase is for loose-meat sandwiches, something my mom and dad probably used to grab on their dates. For those who aren't old enough to remember, loose-meat sandwich basically means they shovel loose hamburger onto a bun and serve it to you. You need to get it with the onions and mustard- that's the only flavor you'll get, and it's the traditional way to eat it. Great fries, definitely try the special where they top the fries in chili-cheese and meat. The also have sloppy joe sauce and ketchup on the side, so you can dress it up if you want. They say they have fresh made pie too, although my Reese's Pie was probably just two flavors of instant pudding, but it was a big slice and the crust was perfect. Sure, the hamburger meat is totally plain and a loose-meat sandwich is going to be pretty messy. Just get the special with fries, and the burger meat fall onto your fries. Dress it up with a little sauce, and you've got a bowl of delicious good stuff. It's such a neat old-school place, worth a stop.
